We analyzed the energy and momentum distributions of laser-induced high-energy photoelectrons of alkali and rare gas atoms. For the plateau electrons with energies above $4U_p$, ($U_p$ is the ponderomotive energy), in the tunneling…
Landau's criterion for superfluidity is a special case of a broader principle: A moving fluid cannot be stopped by frictional forces if its state of motion is a local minimum of the grand potential. We employ this general thermodynamic…
In this work, Landau's theory is revisited by renormalizing quadratic coefficients derived from nonlinear polynomial equations to account for system dimensionality. In this respect, the generated coefficients, which include an intrinsic…
The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability in superfluids is discussed, based on the first experimental observation of such instability at the interface between superfluid 3He-A and superfluid 3He-B (cond-mat/0111343). We discuss why (i) the…
We design models for helium in matrices like aerogel, Vycor or Geltech from a manifestly microscopic point of view. For that purpose, we calculate the dynamic structure function of 4He on Si substrates and between two Si walls as a function…
In this short note, we present some work on investigating electron temperatures and potentials in steady or unsteady dilute plasma flows. The analysis is based on the detailed fluid model for electrons. Ionization, normalized electron…
We propose a dynamic structure of coupled dynamic molecular strings for supercooled small polar molecule liquids and accordingly we obtain the Hamiltonian of the rotational degrees of freedom of the system. From the Hamiltonian, the…
We construct a Ginsburg Landau (GL) theory to study the phases of liquid, solid, superfluid, especially a possible supersolid and phase transitions among these phases in a unified framework. In this GL, we put the two competing orders…
We have investigated experimentally the pressure dependence of the production of ultracold neutrons (UCN) in superfluid helium in the range from saturated vapor pressure to 20bar. A neutron velocity selector allowed the separation of…
The quasi-one-dimensional system of surface electrons over superfluid helium with negative charge on substrate is investigated. The temperature dependence of conductivity is ladder-like which is observed at temperature lower 1.3 K. The…
We calculate the single-particle excitation spectrum and the Landau Fermi liquid parameters for the archetypal model of solids, the three-dimensional uniform electron gas, with the numerically exact variational diagrammatic Monte Carlo…
We analyze the out of plane hopping in models of layered systems where the in--plane properties deviate from Landau's theory of a Fermi liquid. We show that the hopping term acquires a non trivial energy dependence, due to the coupling to…
The origin of the fountain pressure that arises from a small temperature difference in superfluid helium is analyzed. The osmotic pressure explanation due to Tisza (1938), based on the different fractions of ground state bosons, is…
Observations of massive ($M \approx 2.0~M_\odot$) neutron stars (NSs), PSRs J1614-2230 and J0348+0432, rule out most of the models of nucleon-hyperon matter employed in NS simulations. Here we construct three possible models of…
Numerical calculations of Helium-II hydrodynamics show that a dense tangle of superfluid vortices induces in an initially stationary normal fluid a highly dissipative, complex, vortical flow pattern ("turbulence") with a -2.2 energy…
In the previous paper (Attard 2022d)on the fountain pressure in superfluid helium, it was shown that the experimentally confirmed expression of H. London (1939) was thermodynamically equivalent to equality of chemical potential. However…
The kinetic theory of evaporative cooling developed by Luiten et al. [Phys. Rev. A 53, 381 (1996)] is extended to include the dependence of the elastic scattering cross section on collision energy. We introduce a simple approximation by…

The Ginzburg--Landau approach postulates an energy density, together with an interpretation for the supercurrent, and invokes Ohm's law. We consider quasi-one-dimensional nonuniform superconducting loops, either smooth or piecewise uniform,…
